You both articulated more information on the hobby, equipment and expectations in 30 minutes than I have heard from watching hours of videos. Adam and I have the same mindset to equipment choices and live in the same area close to intense light pollution in Manhattan. I am now just starting to go to dark sites and enjoying the hobby more. Excellent video and hope to speak to you again at NEAF next year.
Chonker scope, dude has to be cruising with a race car trailer full of gear. I live at 7k feet in a mostly dry climate in the winter so I'm excited to see soonish what I can do, settling on a setup.
I looked for a new Stellarview 90mm, but I couldn’t find anything. I might get a WO gt81 wifd. Maybe a Borg 107 cf. I am using a am5 mount and tripod combo.
I am a backyard astronomer. Who has been to no telling how many hundred star parties. Member of a major club for 26 years. Anyway If there is any place in the world I could go on vacation. I would go to a Cherry Springs Star Party.
Once I went full frame I updated my processing PC to an Alienware desktop with a much faster processor and a ton of RAM to handle the larger files. @spacedoutpics
Adam actually spends a lot of time at the scopes of visual observers. And so do I. With astrophotography everything is automated. I set the gear up, polar align which takes 5min or less then spend the rest of the night with my binoculars or at someone monster dob.
@@TheNarrowbandChannel I understand the biggest hurdle is getting the mount pointed close enough to the NCP so that plate solving can fine tune the azimuth and altitude settings.
Keep in mind the star party was only 3 nights of my 8 night camping trip, so the rigs were already setup prior to the masses showing up. Light pollution by attendees is slim to none at Cherry Springs due to the strict LP rules. Setting up sure does take quite some time though!

Great interview, and cool gear--thanks you both!
Our pleasure!
Thanks for a wonderful tour of Adam’s toys!
Our pleasure!
You should come to Nebraska Star Party next month! Great people that make it feel like a family vacation! And the darkest skies on continental US!
I bet the sky is beautiful and forecasts are clear more often.

Yes I hope to see you again at NEAF. Each year it's a bigger event for me.
Impressive display of equipment! Great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent interview, thank you!
Thank you I find these very fun to do.
Great video & interview! Amazing set-ups.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks very much! @spacedoutpics
I put a clickable link to Adams gallery in the description too. Should be clickable at least.
@@TheNarrowbandChannel Thank you!
I meet Adam before he always has some awesome equipment and some amazing pictures 😁
Totally!

6200mm with 2” 3nm filters just sounds sexy to us who know! Damn!😂
I like his t shirt, Winter Star Party
Thanks! I was there in 2020 and again a few months ago earlier this year - it's one of my favorite star parties! @ spacedoutpics
Some really good objects the sky during that party. Greater chance of clear night and the nights are longe.
Must have an amazing computer to processes all this data.

@@reddog1972x How much ram Adam?
Alienware AMD ryzen 9 5950x w 16 cores @ 3.4GHz and 64gb RAM. It gets the job done!
Definition of utter madness combined with masochism: Setting up your gear for imaging at a Star Party! Sheesh!
